        (i)  (1261).    What are the dhamma which are eliminated by Sotapatti Magga?

        There are the three fetters, viz., wrong view concerning the five khandhas, uncertainty, and wrong view of the practice of morality.

            (1262).    Of those (three fetter), what is wrong view concerning
                                 the five khandhas?

        In this matter, an uninformed worlding, not in the habit of associating with the ariyas, unskilled in the teaching of the ariyas, untrained in the teaching of the ariyas;  not in the habit of associating with men of virtue, unskilled in the teaching of men of virtue, untrained in the teaching of men of virtue, perceives:
(1)        (a)    Corporeality as Self (atta);
             (b)    Self as having Corporeality;
             (c)     Corporeality (as existing) in Self;
              (d)    Self (as existing) in Corporeality;
(2)           (a)    Sensation as Self; ...p...
(3)           (a)    Perception as Self; ...p...
(4)           (a)    Volitional Activities; ...p...
(5)           (a)    Consciousness as Self; ...p...
                 (b)    Self as having Consciousness;
                 (c)     Consciousness (as existing) in Self;
                 (d)     Self (as existing) in Consciousness.
        There is such wrong view, wrong view of that nature, the thicket of wrong view, the wilderness of wrong view, the thorny spike of wrong view, the inconsistency of wrong view, the fetter of wrong view, obsession with wrong view, persistent obsession with wrong view, adherence to wrong view, misconception which is wrong view, detestable path, wrong course, wrongness, base of wrong view, tenacity of wrong view.
        ~This is called wrong view concerning the five khandhas.

            (1263).    of those (three fetters), what is uncertainty?

        There are:  doubt and uncertainty about the Teacher, doubt and uncertainty about the Doctrine, doubt and uncertainty about the Samgha, doubt and uncertainty about the Practice (of sila, samadhi, panna), doubt and uncertainty about past existences, doubt and uncertainty about future existences, doubt and uncertainty about (both) past and future existences, doubt and uncertainty about the relation between cause and effect (as set out) in the Theory of Cause and Effect, (Paticcasamuppada).
        There are such doubt, being doubtful, the fact of being doubtful, perplexity, uncertainty, being in two minds, indecisiveness, inability to make up the mind, inability to come to a definite decision, vacillation, hesitation, wavering, mental stiffness caused by indecision, vexation of the mind.
        ~This is called uncertainty.

            (1264).    Of those (three fetters), what is the wrong view of the
                                practice of morality?

        There is the view of samanas and brahmanas outside this Teaching that they can attain purity (to realize Nibbana) by means of their morality, by means of their practice, and by means of their morality and practice.  There is such wrong view, wrong view of that nature, the thicket of wrong view, the wilderness of wrong view, the thorny spike of wrong view, the inconsistency of wrong view, the fetter of wrong view, obsession with wrong view, persistent obsession with wrong view, adherence to wrong view, misconception which is wrong view, detestable path, wrong course, wrongness, base of wrong view, tenacity of wrong view.
        ~This is called wrong view of the practice of morality.

        These are the three fetters;  there are also defilements (leading to apaya) existing together with these (fetters);  the aggregate of Sensation, the aggregate of Perception, the aggregate of Volitional Activities and the aggregate of Consciousness which are associated with these (defilements);  and physical action, verbal action and mental action arising on account of those (defilements).
        ~These are the dhamma which are eliminated by Sotapatti Magga.

        (i)  (1581).    What are the dhamma which are eliminated by Sotapatti Magga?
                                       
        There are:  four thoughts associated with wrong view;  thought which arises together with uncertainty.
        ~These are the dhamma which are eliminated by Sotapatti Magga.

        There are:  four thoughts which arise together with greed but are not associated with wrong view;  and two thoughts which arise together with distress.  Some of them (which lead to the four miserable existences) are eliminated by Sotapatti Magga, while some of them (which do not lead to the four miserable existences) are not eliminated by Sotapatti Magga.
